U
of M KnitWits
thank you for your yarn donations! Busy KnitWit volunteers knit
& crochet over 3000 warm goods each year to distribute in their
work with community agencies in Southeast Michigan and througout
the US. Findings continues to be a drop off point for any donations
of yarn for this purpose.
Some
of you have asked if you can be a KnitWit, wishing to knit your
own donations instead of donating unused yarns. The answer is YES! Handmade
warm goods of all sorts (hats, mittens, scarves, afghans, etc) for
all ages from toddlers to adults are needed.
Donations
of both yarn and finished handmade pieces are taken during store
hours. IF you have questions, call 734-929-9751 and ask for Lisa
(knitWit coordinator) or Gerry.
Our
quilt "Under the Sea" will reside
in the wonderful home of Pat Chipman!
When
telephoned with the wonderful news that Pat won the raffle for the
quilt, her immediate response "I never win anything".
Well
you did Pat and congratulations.
I
would like to thank all who worked so hard on the quilt. We raised
over $1500 for Leukemia and Lymphoma research. I had no idea how
much work went into making a quilt and pulling it all together.
Those
beautiful squares were designed by: 
Alice
Hinterman
Connee Morris
Deb Stuff
Donna Wiley
Erin Keem
Hollie Archdale
Joanne Johnson
Judy Holzschuh
Julie Hale
Kathie Padilla
Kristen Uthus
Laura Podob
Lori
Mason
Sue Nordman
Susan Kolovson
Wendy Zollars
Dragon flies beaded by Gerry Dimond (Margo Field design)
A special thanks also to:
Julie
Hale and Connee Morris
of Bits & Pieces Quilt
shop in Wayne
for all the hours framing each square and piecing it together so
beautifully.
Joanne
Johnson who so painstakingly stabalized the quilt
with machine stitching.
Deb
Stuff for pulling it all together with the backing,
and finishing touches,
including the back pocket to hold the book. (Debs great idea).
Barbara
Brown for the very appropriate hand made book to
accompany the quilt.
It
was a labour of love and it showed. Thank you all!

HOWEVER
~ the shop remains open when classes

It is a good idea to call ahead (929-9751) and make sure, just
in case a class has been canceled.
